the audience applauded

That was an excellent one.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

A horrible film. Simply horrible. Much worse than might be expected of a cast, most of whom have at least played a few really good roles in their lives. My expectations weren't particularly high, and I definitely didn't expect a masterpiece; but even truckloads of popcorn can't turn this movie into something remotely entertaining. I did my very best to follow the story somehow, in spite of its (to put it gently) fragmentary beginning. After that, however, all sense is lost completely, until nobody knows anymore who is chasing whom and what for. Utter chaos. The animated sequences that somehow manage to amuse in the beginning, become irritating soon. I have a strong impression that the director of this movie tries to imitate Oliver Stone's manners, but whereas Stone uses them as a means to convey something, in this case it's nothing but tricks. Add a few misplaced comic sequences to the mix, lots of action sequences that would have worked if we knew at least what they are about, and there you have it. It looks like they tried damned hard to conceal a lack of budget and a lack of script, but failed on both accounts. Expect for the title song, which is sort of funny, the songs aren't worth mentioning either. The background score is better, in my opinion. As for the acting: Ajay: not bad, but nothing particularly good either.Zayed: how is it possible that this actor keeps on playing in movies, despite an obvious lack of talent? Ritesh: a nice role and well performed. The most bearable part in the whole movie, if you ask me.Sunil: completely colorless, which is a pity, because he's too good an actor for this type of junk. Esha: never liked her until I saw "Darling"; not too bad in this movie, I'd say. Diya: hard to say. I like her, but I don't know why myself. Shamita: it took me a while before I was sure this wasn't Shilpa, but Shilpa's younger sister. They are very similar to each other, in the same way as Kareena and Karisma are. Not so bad either.

I had a dinner invitation at a family friend's, and they decided to watch 'Cash'. I didn't want to be rude so I didn't object. Anubhav Sinha does a good job on spending the producer's cash on set design, animation, location and special effects among other technical gizmo's. It all looks both tacky and out of place. The reason why I say spend instead of waste is because probably the producer will make a lot of bucks out of Trash. Depends on the majority of Indian audience, doesn't it? Of course the screenplay is pretty trash and direction is pretty amateurish. Sinha seems to love slow motion as almost every action and chase scene has shots of tiring slow motion that drag on. This film also tries to show that hot women are stupid. After brilliantly playing intelligent women in 'Fareb' and 'Zeher', Shamita Shetty decided to play a bimbo and she's probably one of the stupidest head security officer. Ajay Devgan should not have attempted any comedy. He's quite bad. Question for Sunil Shetty: Why are you still in films? Of course Cash boasts of more non-talents. Dia Mirza looks hot and plays stupid. Ayesha Takia, Esha Deol, Zayed Khan and Riteish Deshmukh are also stupid. Deol does show off her nice body but what happened to the rest? This is really a bad waste of time. But it will appeal to many who love their hot women to be stupid and the guys to be stronger and only marginally smarter and it also helps if there are some cheesy action scenes and pathetic gadgets and crap. 'Cash' is Trash No 1!

Once again I found myself in TOP 3 the only multiplex (with AC no less) in Bhavnagar and in the midst of a cultural battlefield not only between my South Bombay urban sensibilities and what can best be described as a city that losing the battle to be Urban, but also among the different kinds of people within the same theatre.The differences between the gold (Rs 75 on weekends ) and Silver (Rs. 50) which i hadn't noticed in the last movie (Krissh) I saw there were now apparent to me, the lines of Gutkha that run between the rows of seats in the silver class are a legacy that the so called "PUBLIC" leave behind, that clearly demarcates the differences between the two kinds of people within the same theatre.The movie was house-full and the whistles just before the movie started assured me that even though i had close to no expectations from this movie (bored on a Sunday in another city), thanks to the excitement around me i would at least not be bored in this film.And this movie started well enough with the occasional splash on animation that has been inspired, but a great change. The animations were kind of cool and humorous at the same time and my expectations were going up.At the same time i was getting a bit confused maybe this movie was being made for the urban audience, WHAT WITH THE ALL English TITLES AND SUBTITLES AND THE HEAVY USAGE OF English WITH ENTIRE DIALOGUES IN English.The movie went along at a fine pace, with the planning of a big heist, some great camera work,some decent animation, good songs, and a nice dose of humour, AJAY DEVGAN LOOKED ABSOLUETELY HIDEOUS but that was fine.The movie made a slow steady climb uphill and then the plateau came..THE HIEST was an altogether confusing yet entertaining experience amid loud catcalls and whistles, scene after scene that were really there to dazzle the audiences, NO LOGIC HERE and this was when the movie truly moved on to front bencher territory, nobody who has watched even 2 or 3 good heist films (even dhoom for that matter ) was going to be able to find logic in the absurd events that followed.To their credit though the ritiesh scene, and the Ajay Devgan scene was actually good even by my high standards.YET THE OBSESSION WITH English CONTINUED MORE AND MORE DIALOGUES WERE BEING RECITED IN English, and so were the subtitles, no one wore a single Indian dress in the whole film not even in the songs, at this point of time i was seriously getting confused, for whom after all was this movie being made for.Then the second half started and semblance of logic was flushed away, THE MARKED MONEY TRACK WAS ESPECIALLY DISGUSTING.The questions about the target audience were clearly replaced by WHAT WERE THEY THINKING??? Animation that seemed cool in the first half was abused beyond compare, esha looked hideous, Ajay looked worse if possible, there still was time for some songs....If the urban audience was the target they clearly got it all wrong.But still there were some things going for the movie, DIYA MIRZA LOOKED SMOKING HOT, THE SONGS WERE GOOD AND ESPECIALLY WELL PICTURISED, the one liners were especially good and the constant dry, as well as slapstick humour was always entertaining.The scene with blowing money was especially well picturised. Acting was good throughout with no one really doing a bad job, most of the junior actors (though they've been around for 5 rs or more) still need lots of work, even then TECHNICALLY THIS MOVIE WAS VERY GOOD but still a notch below trend-setters like Don and Dhoom 2 (Especially don).So why the not so bad rating..For starters for whatever reasons i actually got how much i expected form this movie and enjoyed it in parts ANY MOVIE MEETING TIME PASS SPECIFICATIONS DESERVES A 5 (im sure the crowd had something to do with it).What i was told by my local friend however summed up the movie for me in the other sides eyes (even though we were in gold)."Mujhe Kuch Samajh Mein Nahin Aaya, Phir Bhi Mazaa Aaya, scene scenery, Maja Masti aur fighting Badiya Tha Haaauun", translated "I didn't understand anything but still i enjoyed it the scene-scenery (cinematography), Maja Masti (chicks in gujrat maja-masti is always something to do with chicks be it talking or other activities), and the stunts/action scenes were very good (the haauun is the standard anding phrase is gujrat its like a nasal ho).Im not sure you want to watch this movie because if your on this forum you probably fall in my category of viewer.Watch with caution at cheap rates if you have to watch it.-s NO LOGIC, abuse of animation, to much English, pathetic script.+/-s maja-masti, scene scenery.+s good songs and picturisation, a couple of great scenes, good humour.total 5/10 (on absolute terms even and considering it met the very low expectations, if you have slightly more upmarket sensibilities than i do, then this is definitely a NO).

Well I just came back from the movie, and it motivated me so much to share my painful experience with you. The movie is lame and awful, sorry for being rude but fact is fact and no one can amend it. Movie starts with nice music track and you expect more to come with such a dramatic opening, but the entire thrill is gone within no time. The reason being:1) Stunts are in cartoon. "WTF!! Are we there to watch cartoon network, and where the hell Tom and Jerry are". 2) Where the hell is choreographer? "Oh! I know the entire budget was spent on payment of superstars". 3) Can somebody teach Diya some acting please, and especially the scene where you are suppose to play dead, you do not have to breath so heavily that even a blind man can see you are breathing after being shoot. Well, were you paid less as compared to other actors, to give such marvellous performance? 4) Please our films should stop adding bits and pieces of English in between dialogues; it really brings down an essence of the movie if you deliver the English flanks in Indian ascent.Apart from that there were some bit of fun from Ajay, but when other actors try to crack jokes it went really to the drain. I would personally do not recommend this film, u will njoy 'Full and Final' far more than "Oh! What I am saying, how can I even compare 'Full and Final' with this", oh yes 'Cash' is worse that any other film, even worse that B grade movies.All I can say in the end is, Cash Cash, give my Cash BACK.
